Data centres present some of the most demanding acoustic challenges in modern infrastructure. The continuous operation of chillers, cooling towers, CRAC and CRAH units, backup generators, transformers and high-volume air handling plant generates significant noise, both within the facility and at the boundary. Matrix Acoustic works with data centre operators, developers and engineers to manage this noise from the ground up — conducting acoustic assessments, environmental noise modelling and compliance reporting to ensure facilities meet planning conditions, EPA limits and workplace health and safety requirements without compromising operational performance.

Beyond assessment, we develop detailed designs for the noise control measures themselves — acoustic louvres and attenuators, plant enclosures and screens, acoustic barriers, vibration isolation and treatment of plant and switch rooms. While we don't carry out the installation, we manage performance throughout the process, verifying that mitigation is implemented correctly and delivers the acoustic outcomes specified. Whether you're commissioning a new facility, expanding capacity or resolving a compliance issue at an existing site, we ensure your noise control is designed right and performs as intended — protecting both your neighbours and your operations.
